Dodd-Frank Act

An act known formally as the "Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and
Protection Act" (Dodd-Frank). This 2010 law made dramatic, sweeping
changes to the nation's financial regulatory system. It was enacted
to make the U.S. financial system more transparent and accountable
and to prevent the type of financial crisis that occurred during
2008.

Three specific provisions within Dodd-Frank are likely to
increase the nature and scope of legal liability faced by corporate
directors and officers. These include: (1) the "clawback" provision,
(2) the whistle-blower provision, and (3) the "say-on-pay" provision.
